[quote quote=432484]I like to start my day with a reading from Richard Wagamese – someone who having gone though much in his life came out the other side with wisdom. I read the following and felt it related to the question of the Divine and spiritual. What for me, lies behind a word like spiritual, path and divine is the word mystery and the art of sitting in mystery with wonder

“We need mystery. Creator in her wisdom knew this. Mystery fills us with awe and wonder. They are the foundations of humility, and humility is the foundation of all learning. So we do not seek to unravel this. We honor it by letting it be that way forever. – grandmother explaining The Great Mystery of the universe to her grandson.” ― Richard Wagamese, Indian Horse

I feel mystery is more important then the notions of meaning and purpose and suspect it is from mystery and the ability to be uncomfortable in uncertainty, that purpose and meaning arise from and returns to[/quote]

I agree it’s beneficial to have a sense of mystery. That’s why I’m always asking questions and reading books about subjects I am curious about.
